46 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Portsmouth

“Coconut soup is mouthwatering, healthy and delicious!“

“I’m from the Boston area and was meeting a friend in Portsmouth for dinner. We picked Durbar Square and we’re definitely not disappointed. We had an absolutely fabulous meal there. The chicken chili was a delicious, and a different approach than any chili I’ve had before. The chicken was perfect cooked. The sauce was full of flavor. They also ask you to pick yours spice range from 1-10 so you can choose what suits you best. The owner, John, is totally engaged with his customers and if you want, can even demonstrate a yoga pose or 2 (which he is very good at). Just overall a great place to eat.“

“Great staff too! The food is good too!“

“Love the new place. And the food is ALWAYS awesome! Owner and workers are very friendly and work hard.“

“Been going here for years, never had a bad meal.“

“Everything was amazing - went for my birthday dinner, requested and received a table by the window for 8 people, cocktails were fabulous - dirty martini, hot & dirty martinis amazing and Manhattan looked fantastic. Most of us ordered sushi, which was outstanding. Servers were outstanding, environment lively, we took our time and did not feel rushed, even on a Friday night. Thank you for an amazing night!“

“The food is out of this world good!!!!“

“We go to Maine every year and make it a priority to stop here. They have the best lobster sub roll in the area! Even better than some really nice restaurants. Staff is always great and friendly. Of course the lobster roll is on the expensive side but its lobster! And they do not skimp on the meat at all.“

“My husband and I had the best experience tonight! The food was amazing. We started with the tuna appetizer and the cure wedge salad - so good! He had the filet and I had the short ribs - both were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server was super attentive and so personable! We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in the area!“

“Amazing first time visit to the Portsmouth NH location…from the the decor…to the scrumptious meals we had, Chicken Cordon Blue Benny and an Omelet with a heaping side plate of various meats( sausage,bacon and ham) and not to mention bottomless coffee refills……however what stood out the most was our server Emma ! Emma - has a unique talent for making you feel like you are the most important person in the room, even as she was juggling all her tables. Emma is the kind of server who can tell you a great story and refill your coffee at the same time. Emma -thank you for making our visit so enjoyable..we will be back! But wait….first we have to try the corn beef(outstanding!) hash before we hit the road!! 😊“

“It was so good and great service“

“First visit... An excellent burger—light yet flavorful, simple yet substantial, small yet satisfying, and at a great price. A milkshake with great consistency and my favorite fries—thin and crispy—served with wonderful service in a very cozy spot. Definitely recommended.“

“Tasty Larrys, yummy burgers and dogs! Nice atmosphere and outdoor patio! Indoor bars are like a maze to find the MERCH“

“I never write reviews but this place is AMAZING! My mom & I stopped in for crepes, we had a sweet one and a savory one and also a tart and vanilla ice coffees. Everything was perfection and tasted great! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere very nice. This was the highlight of our trip we loved it so much and will definitely be returning! 🥰“

“We had the shrimp chowder today and it was amazing! Never had a bad experience with this lovely gem! The service is great and the food is excellent.“

“Watermelon martini Iced tea of the Long Island variety“

“I was planning to go to a different downtown restaurant and walked in to this one as it started raining. The waitress took every effort to ensure our dietary requirements were taken care of. They had quite a few veggie burger options. We picked The Cool Beans, which came with a black bean and corn patty. She was quite transparent with the fact that they used the same fryer and oil for frying meat,veggie appetizers and fries. So, she substituted fries with freshly sliced avocado. The burger itself was thick and juicy. We ordered a PB& Chocolate milkshake that capped out dinner. They went out of the way to limit cross contamination. Will definitely return.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Always a pleasure to have hibachi with IKKO. This afternoon was with Chef Davey and he was excellent! Really hit the spot!“

“Food was amazing and service was very attentive. We had Vindaloo, Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan and Papadam. Everything was fantastic!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good service good food and good drinks❗️“

“I always love coming to the Pink Bamboo. The servers are so kind, the owner is amazing, and the quality of ingredients is perfect. I always leave here so incredibly full and happy. We’ve been coming here for at least 4-5 years and no other hot pot can compete. They may have a smaller selection of broths, but it’s worth it for the quality. Thank you Pink Bamboo for all your hospitality and can’t wait to come back soon!“

“ordered extra cheese pizza and there was even LESS than when I order regular....used to be good but it's now TERRIBLE“

“delicious bagels. nice people.“

“Amazing food, but even better service. Everyone was so happy there. What a nice change of pace!“

“First time at Paddy's. We went for lunch and ate on the patio. Great service from our server Erica. On her recommendation, I had the roasted chicken BLT. Chicken salad was delicious. The cole slaw was also good. Not too much mayo. Husband had the hot n spicy burger with fries. Both great. Will definitey be back.“

“We love this place!!! The live music is awesome.“

“This is a great little stop wirh friendly atmosphere.
We ordered steak subs and I do have to say that they were some od the best we have had recently. The steak was juicy and the bread it was served on was delicious.
There was a lot of meat on the roll. We felt like we got our money's worth.
The staff was friendly and food came out quickly. Thanks for a great meal!“

“Holy Fu*k!! Perfect, exactly what I wanted. Had 2 cheese slices.“

“BEST QUICHE IN TOWN! IT WAS SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY LIKE A AIR LIGHT SOFT SCRAMBLE“

“I had their new Lobster grilled cheese. I am usually a huge fan of their Italian sub and steak and cheese sub but this new item not so much. I should have stuck to what I knew. I think my main issue was the sauce, it didn't quite fit with the taste of the provolone cheese and lobster.“

“Noel is the man! High quality drinks and very cool.“

“My daughter and I dined here and enjoyed it very much. The server was great, fun, polite and fast. Food was fab. We had the poutine, a unique and delicious take, and the beet salad. Drinks were strong. Very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back and recommend.“

“Great view when sitting outside. The food was tasty but not to die for. My fries had good seasoning, but they were a tad cold. The crab cake sandwich had bacon on it and a great texture. Also, the waitress was friendly and prompt at serving us.“

“Kim Lai is our favorite Chinese restaurant. We have been going there, often with friends, about once a week for years and just love the place. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. The staff is great and we have such a good time with them. We utilize their take-out service for large family gatherings during the holidays. We strongly recommend Kim Lai and in fact will be going again tonight. The boneless spareribs and hot and sour soup are Daane's favorite appetizers, followed up by exploring the many different dishes on the menu. We think you will enjoy Kim Lai!“

“My girlfriend & I had such a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name) was so attentive. When it came time to pay & get everything boxed up & cleared away, it felt like any staff walking by did something to help out. The teamwork was excellent & something I don’t see very often anymore. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you!“

“Love the atmosphere...the food was delicioso...margaritas to die for...friendly staff...love love love 💗“

“Pricey but understandably so, I recently had dinner there after being gone for 8 years and was pleasantly surprised to see that the quality of the food was as good as ever. So nice to have great seafood again. Jeff and Jay and staff go above with the food and the service. Been in Florida for 12 years and I am not impressed with the seafood there. Yes it's seafood but no where compared to New England seafood.“

“Food is excellent. More importantly, staff is super nice.“

“Was disappointed with the fish & chips.“

“Love this Place Hidden Jewel. Free Valet Parking“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time last night and everything was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. My friends and I tried the mac & cheese flight, chicken & waffles, fried pickles and sweet Thai wings. The goat Thunder burger was cooked perfectly and my favorite, the tumbleweeds, were crispy shoestring onion rings. Highly recommend!“
